Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 25:6

6 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands , and stamped with the feet , and rejoyced in heart with all thy despight against the land of Israel .

Exprest thy joy in that insolent manner.

And added this sign of more, then ordinary Joy at this.

It was that which affected thy heart with gladness, thy soul, and mind were in this thy rejoycing.

Hatred and contempt, thou wast heartily glad, such vile people, as thou countedst them, were made, what thou thoughtest they best deserved, Slaves, Beggars, and Captives.

For the people.

Either the Ten Tribes, or rather the Two Tribes with the small remnant of the others, that kept to the House of David.
